Ticket sales are apparently on an uptick as Mile of Music draws closer.

Organizers of the four-day downtown Appleton music festival that opens Thursday announced Saturday that single-show tickets for the Friday night headliner show at Lawrence Memorial Chapel have sold out. That show features Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons, The Candles, Spacewoman, Adriel Denae and Hillary Reynolds Band. There also has been chatter of a possible Norah Jones appearance at that show.

A limited number of $99 VIP tickets that give buyers access to both the Friday and Saturday headliner shows and all of the feature stage shows are still available.

Itís possible that a handful of single-show tickets could become available at the last minute depending on sponsor givebacks. Follow postcrescent.com/mileofmusic for any ticket updates.

The most recent speculation on Norah Jones has the nine-time Grammy Award winner also showing up on stage at the Saturday show to jam with Crowell, Earle and company. Mile of Music organizers say they cannot confirm that. But there seems to be little doubt left that Jones will be here for the festival.

A restaurant in Green Bay sent out invites to a select number of customers for a private Norah Jones/Cory Chisel event on Thursday. That comes on the heels of Jones showing up on stage at the outset of the new Wild Rovers concert tour featuring Chisel and The Candles that opened in Nashville on Thursday and is making its way toward Appleton.
